Chapter 548: Poor Mountains and Bad Waters

After Liu Xian finished speaking, he drifted away.

Leaving this group of county officials, you look at me, you are a little jealous.

It's not a strong dragon, but it's not a river!

Bi An is their own people, they are all familiar with it, and they all know Bi An's ability, but in their eyes, Bi An, who is already a strong man, was beaten away in front of one of the guards, and he has no power to fight back. In addition, the other guard, acting like a ghost, they could not see clearly, and their dozen or so soldiers who broke in fell to the ground.

What kind of strength is this? What realm is that?

One by one, their faces were solemn, and it seemed that they really had to reconsider their position.

This Hou Ye is really difficult to deal with.

Liu Xian didn't take these officials in the county to heart, and now he is indeed just a newcomer, and hundreds of thousands of homeless people have not yet hurried, only a part of them have arrived first. Therefore, Liu Xian has not been able to free up his hands to deal with them for the time being.

However, it can be regarded as giving them a little time, if they don't know each other, then they will definitely take over the governance of the Shangjun Mansion directly, and then control the entire Shangjun Mansion in their hands.

The reason why Liu Xian chose to go to this county is also because of this consideration. Here, Liu Xian can be more unscrupulous in what he does, and he can let go of his hands and feet to do things.

Here, the imperial court has long been ignored and can't be controlled. And the county government has long been unable to control the local situation.

If the court officials can't do it, it will be difficult to manage Yongzhou and Merge Prefecture.

If the governments of these two states could manage it, then there wouldn't be so many aliens here.

Here, Liu Xian can completely create a more independent and free power territory than Yang's County and Liulin City.

With hundreds of thousands of people today, what else can't be done? What's more, after taking over and controlling the vast land of Shangjun, you can add hundreds of thousands of Han people, to say the least, right? What if you can control the local Huns again?

Liu Xian believes that in Shangjun, there is actually a lot to do.

Liu Xian was not idle, and immediately sent people out to investigate the situation around the county town.

Liu Xian wanted people to see and understand clearly what was the situation of the Han people in this area, and what was the situation of the Huns or other foreign tribes. In addition, there are no bandits and robbers, and so on.

Since Liu Xian has already chosen a place, there is no need to stay in this Shangjun anymore, everything is still to the place first, and then personally inspect the situation in that place.

However, Liu Xian did not go until the next day.

After arriving at the place, Liu Xian found that there was a little difference from the situation he imagined.

This area was originally a land of undulating hills and ravines.

It was also after arriving at the place that Liu Xian roughly thought that this place should be the place of Wubao County in the future. Now, it is called Zengshan County or Lin County.

Zengshan County is the title of the Han people, and Lin County is the title of the people of different races.

Here, although there is still a Han government office, the government has been controlled by local aliens. The main alien tribe that occupies this area is the Qiang people.

Of course, compared to the Qiang people in Xiliang, the number of Qiang people who occupy this place and live here is not very large, and they are estimated to be less than 10,000 people combined.

These Qiang people should be a small part of the people who were settled in Shangjun to bring life after returning to the Han Dynasty with the Xiongnu tribe, and now after more than 100 years of development, they now have the current scale of the clan.

Suddenly, so many people came at once, whether it was the local Han people or those people of different races, they were all a little surprised and nervous.

In addition, a large number of people entered one after another.

After Liu Xian arrived, he first arrived at the already dilapidated county seat.

Even the city walls of the county town have been destroyed, and they have long lost their defensive functions.

It can also be seen that the Han people living here, whether they are people of different races, are very difficult, and they are all ragged and yellow-skinned.

Judging from the current situation, it is really difficult for Liu Xian to associate this place with Wubao County in later generations, and he can't believe that there was once incomparable glory here.

If you don't say it, you may not know.

Wubao County is actually a county with a long history. A place with a long history. As early as three or four thousand years ago, it was here that the brilliant light of human civilization bloomed - Longshan culture.

In the postmodern era, some historical sites were found here, and Neolithic stone axes, stone knives, pottery, and so on were found.

It is also the activity area of foreign people such as Diyi, Guirong and Zhai people during the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods.

But now, in addition to being dilapidated, it is still dilapidated.

In the whole small county of Zengshan, it is estimated that there have been many plundering accidents, and there is hardly a single intact house to be found in the dilapidated county.

The only thing that is still intact is the official office of the former Zengshan County.

Liu Xian went directly to the official office, and Xi Zhicai and others knew that Liu Xian was coming, so they hurried out to greet him.

"It turns out that this is Zengshan County. Mr. Xi, what do you think of this place? Liu Xian saw Xi Zhicai and them, so he said directly.

"It's not good, here, the conditions are far worse than we imagined......" Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly: "If I had to choose, I would definitely not choose here." The people who came with the play yesterday were worried about this. Also, the people in this place are not very friendly, and the people are very strong, and they almost had a conflict with us yesterday. I guess this is not over, and they will definitely not let us settle these displaced people here. ”

"Haha, poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people?" Liu Xian laughed, and walked into the county government road while talking to Xi Zhicai disappreciatively.

"Isn't it? When they first came here, the county government was also occupied by those aliens, and the drama was under the banner of an official sent by the imperial court, and he also asked the pro-soldiers and guards who came up with the drama to intimidate them, so they were driven away. “

"Well, no wonder, this county government can still maintain well, not as dilapidated as those houses in the city, it turns out that someone occupies this place."

"My lord, the current situation, let's ...... Well, if we're determined to settle the displaced people here, how do we get started? There are so many things at once, and the drama feels a little big. "Xi Zhicai does not have the ability to turn waste into treasure like Liu Xian, and he has not experienced how Liu Xian started from scratch in Liulin City.

This also includes Tao Qiuhong and Shan Yong. poured Li Yuan has some understanding of some situations. But his ability is limited, and it is difficult for him to take on a big responsibility.

This is also the main reason why Liu Xian sent people back to Liulin City earlier to transfer Tian Feng. Tian Feng knew more or less about the developments and actions of Yang's County and Liulin City than they did.

Liu Xian also came to Shangjun, and it was also for this reason that he personally commanded, and at the same time, it was also equivalent to training Xi Zhicai and others.

Some things have nothing to do with marching and fighting have nothing to do with whether they are full of talent. Xi Zhicai is naturally good at general internal affairs, but it is difficult to look at the problems in front of him with countless insights from later generations like Liu Xian.

Liu Xian didn't talk to Xi Zhicai immediately, but walked into the official lobby, and after the main seat sat down, he drank a cup of tea that Xi Zhi had sent him.

After thinking about it in his mind for a while, Liu Xian said to Xi Zhicai: "Mr. Xi, what we have to do now is to ensure that everyone who comes with us is safe. Therefore, it is necessary to concentrate on settling down...... Well, let's go into the city for the first people, even if the city is broken again, it can also play a role in psychological safety. It is also necessary to calm their emotions, so that they do not have to worry, we can create infinite wealth with one pair of hands. Don't look at the poor mountains and bad waters, but it won't be long before this place will be completely new. ”

"Okay, let someone do it right away. But ......"

Xi Zhicai nodded and followed: "The aborigines in the city are deeply hostile to us, and besides, they almost clashed with us yesterday, they have a large tribe, with thousands of people, who may come to us for trouble at any time. If we can't scare them anymore in the name of the imperial court, what if we attack us? ”

"Mr. Xi's worries are unreasonable, the materials we transported together, that is, food, can arouse their watching, if they find out that we are really just ordinary homeless, and our troops are seriously insufficient, then they will definitely come to snatch it." Tao Qiuhong was also on the side.

"Don't worry about that. We'll get rid of them today. If they know each other and are willing to submit to us, then they can say anything, and maybe they can also become a force that we can use. If they don't want to, there's not much to say. In a word, we have migrated hundreds of thousands of people here, there is no turning back, we must settle these people well, anything that threatens us, that is, those who follow the prosper and those who rebel die! ”

Liu Xian was like a sword sold at this time, which was a bit sharp, which was also rare for Tao Binghong and Xi Zhi after knowing Liu Xian.

They don't know that although Liu Xian is usually very talkative, he is naturally friendly. However, when it came time to be really domineering, Liu Xian was unequivocal.

"And! Now, at once, go and gather all the people of the city together, and count them as ...... Treat them as if they were outcasts who came with us. Do you understand? ”

In this dilapidated small county, it is estimated that the number of people in the entire county will not exceed 10,000. This point of population, under the base of hundreds of thousands of displaced people, was digested at once.

"Understand, just let them register first, and then give relief to the local people in need?"

"Well, that's right, you all have to remember that every place we go in the future, of course, means a place that we have the ability to occupy and can maintain a kind of long-term control. The people of the land, every single person, had to be registered. And you have to accept our arrangement. Otherwise, they will be driven away. ”

"Yes! Remember! ”

"Well, whether it is the ordinary people or the local magnates who have some assets in the city, they all have to be registered. Of course, we're not talking about taking their wealth. It is their wealth, and we must not touch it unless they are clearly on our opposing side. Also, those people who register and make books, their locality, also have certain preferential treatment. For example, they can still continue to own the property they originally owned, and so on. Anyway, from the beginning of us to the beginning, everything here is ours. Those ownerless houses, even places, are already ours. But if there is a Lord, we cannot take it. Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Li Yuan, you are responsible for counting some specific situations in the county seat of Zengshan County, mainly the houses and properties of those aborigines, etc. You have experience in doing this, and I hope you can do it well as soon as possible. ”

"In addition, we will immediately recruit people who can build buildings among the locals and our people. I'm going to plan a city, and I'm going to build a fortified city like the Willow Grove City. And, from now, be sure to build it within a year. ”

"Otherwise, all kinds of craftsmen, you can deal with them yourself. Now we need iron, and we need to make some tools for production. Many things can be carried out at the same time, time waits for no one, and it is necessary to do a good job in the spring plowing work that has begun. For the time being, with Zengshan County as the center, it will develop to the surrounding areas and the west bank of the Fenshui River, and open up wasteland for farming, and Pingjun will have to cultivate two acres of land per person. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the task is very heavy, and now there is nothing, so we must overcome many difficulties and start from scratch."

Liu Xian has to explain what he wants to do one by one.

Many things have been discussed with Xi Zhicai and them a long time ago, and they have already been said, and now Liu Xian is just repeating it.

It may seem difficult to start something from nothing, but people are alive, as long as they use their brains, then there must be a way.

Why did Liu Xian immediately want to take control of this dilapidated Zengshan County? Because even if it's a rotten ship, there are still three pounds of nails.

After collecting the materials of the whole county, you can do a lot of things. At the very least, there is already a minimum condition for the work to be carried out.

Among the hundreds of thousands of displaced people, as well as among the local people, can't they find one or two blacksmiths who know how to smelt and make iron?

As long as there is a blacksmith, and then some iron tools from the county are collected, and after smelting, they can be used to find some necessary tools.

Also, in these places in Shangjun, there is no shortage of cattle, sheep and horses, there are so many aliens living here, and they basically live a life of half-farming and half-herding, and even like those foreigners in the desert outside the Great Wall, they are completely living a life of herding.

In addition, Xi Zhicai and they have long arranged for people to understand what crops are more suitable for planting in these places, and there is no need to simply cultivate rice, only those places that are convenient for water diversion and irrigation, it is necessary to plant rice.

For the time being, we can build some water conservancy or build a large number of water wheels to divert water.

Soon, everything was carried out according to Liu Xian's requirements. 1603460605
